Just north of Brussels is "Mini-Europe," a family park featuring dozens of buildings, all at a 1:25 scale. Each of the European Union's 27 nations has at least one structure. Many are famous; some are a tad less thrilling (Luxemburg, for example, is represented by a single highway bridge - I have to believe that this cute little country has something a bit more interesting than a bridge!). There are also other features, such as the Chunnel (with a high-speed train passing through), Mt. Vesuvius (which blows its top when you push a button), airports, harbors, oil rigs, and the world's largest duck (look closely for the enormous avian beast, threatening London's Big Ben and Parliament!). In the background is the famous Atomium, part of a 1959 Brussels world exposition.
